This post Cold War story proposes that history did not end with the collapse of the Berlin Wall, but has been reinvented in a children's theatrical production of Doña Faustina somewhere in Yucatan, Mexico. Within Themes the past, present and the future converge. Route 66 melts away into dioramas within an Oklahoma museum and the Venice of Dante becomes a hotel in Las Vegas. Not the symbol and not that for which it stands - the "theme" is the building block of the world viewed. This is a new century and Themes is here to nostalgically observe that they do not make the future the way that they used to.

state-theatre #4 DETROIT 0:53:44min 2012

Detroit, once America's center for auto-industry and theater, was shrinking to a third of its population. What used to be the space for theatrical presentation, nowadays presents the urban crisis. The city became a theater itself. The film stages the performative discourse of six locations, six neighborhoods, and six Detroiters: „...we’re sort of talking about Detroit in a way that it itself is a theater, that it itself is the object to behold.“

Kanaleneiland district in Utrecht was build in 1960's according to ideals of functional cities. Nowadays, Kanaleneiland, which in recent years has been synonymous with social problems, goes through a gentrification process. I invited a group of people, living or working in Kanaleneiland (including myself) to stage together in front of the camera a fictional narrative.

The fiction of Monsters occupying the abandoned pedestrian area - the former heart of Mülheim - was used to give a new twist to the discussion about changes in the democratic construction of public space. You can also see the whole game as the collaborative production of a monster movie in which the city of Mülheim reimagines itself. "A rising number of monsters have been sighted in the small town of Mülheim...."

Hasta Nunca follows Mario Ligetti, a middle-aged DJ in Montevideo, Uruguay whose call-in radio show exposes the city's "Secrets and Stories".

An Incomplete History of the Travelogue, 1925 is a lyrical essay film that captures the spirit of excess and adventure embodied by The Great Gatsby (published in 1925) in fragments from home movies of a wealthy American family on a Grand Tour of Europe and North Africa - illuminating truth as historically fleeting a la Walter Benjamin's dialectical image.

Filmed at Blackfriars Station, Platform sychronises three screens of commuters in the station. A natural tempo occurs as the characters within the footage choreograph themselves creating ebbs and flows and prescribing the timeline. Using tracking and stabilizing software the frame is manipulated to become the main player of the sequence, and the characters within.

Through five characters who live in London as immigrants, and whose lives have been entangled with the filmmaker in diverse ways, the film an imaginary journey in search for "Home". A journey through the physical and psychological spaces, through the tangible and intangible regions that embody the sensations and experiences of making a "home away from home" within the context of the global city.

"La Giostra", is an imaginary trip through a dynamic route. A place that, with wonder, while you are traveling without thoughts on the carousel of the life, reveal its direct bond with death. This place is a historical cemetery, and I choose to explore this space where people go with special feelings, and where is a special silent. A place that most of people forget in daily life, but real in every town, just a urban space for the last moment of life.
